## hc-instructions
This is Day 5 (final) of a 5-day email nurture sequence for the Mastery Monetization Lab. The sequence assumes the reader already has their Market Intelligence Report and spent 4 days applying it: Day 1 validated market, Day 2 created offer, Day 3 published content, Day 4 started warm conversations. Day 5 is the CLOSE — it recaps the complete sprint, shows the solo vs Lab math, reveals the monetization gap, and drives to the beta cohort application CTA. Uses email-safe HTML (tables, inline styles, no CSS variables, no flexbox/grid, no JavaScript).
